Yeah they are scary. Icoke and eprize ran a laptop contest last year. The tried switching the prizes listed with a cheaper laptop and hoped no on would notice. Got alot of complaints on that one. I guess the law states you can only switch prizes if they match or exceed the value listed.

Man that is horrible. I have to admit the execution of this years ps3 contest was trash as well. Apparently you had to send them a registered letter stating your intention of recieving the prize. Plus winning was pretty difficult as the site constantly would go down and eat pins. I heard of a few people winning but, Pepsi still conducts the best contests.

Those people were lucky. I guess they were afraid to annoy the winners any further.

I think so...plus they were getting a tonne of emails and phone calls from participants. I hate when companies offer prizes but, it's more so that they can advertise on their product and associate a hip prodcut with their brand. I wish they would construct an interesting contest that would build a solid customer base. (although I guess the only reason they ever run a contest is to associate hot products or events with their products)
